Application filed January 24, 1913. Serial No. 743,977.

Be it known that 1, JOHN D. HoUoK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled, in the art to which it appertains tofmake' and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marks thereon, which-form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in necktie holders for attacheflicient means ofthis nature 'so arranged that neckties may be held between resilient fingers upon a swiveled holder.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the swiveled holder and through two pairs of the resilient fingers, andFig. 3 is a detail View of the bracket holding the arm which carries the swiveled necktie holding finger.

' Reference now being had'to the details of the drawing by letter, A designates a bracket member which is adapted to be fastened to a bureau, chifi'onnier, wall or other object and is provided with a cylindrical bearing portion B, cut away at its*upper and lower ends at C. An angled swinging arm,desi'gnated'by letter D, has one end swiveled in saidrbea-ring and is adapted to be held from swinging by an angled portion of the arm D resting in one or the other of said notches, accordingly as the bracket member may be fastened in one position or. y

my signature 1n the presence of two w1tnesses.-

another as it might be desired to mount the same upon one side of a bureau or chiffonnier. .Said arm has a downwardly extending'portion E which is threaded about its circumference for the reception of the thumb nut F and said downwardly projecting portion forms a bearing for the ro-j said fingers being adapted to frictionallyengage and hold the neckties. Said fingers being of thin resilient material and smooth upon their inner faces will separate under slight pressure to allow the neckties to be conveniently inserted in place.

By the provision of a device' embodying the features of my invention, it will be noted that a convenient necktie holder is afforded which may be held securely from swinging laterally and affording means whereby a plurality of neckties may be held, the holder being rotatable and affording means for conveniently applying or removing a-necktie from any pair of the fingers as may be desired.

What I claim to be new is A necktie holder-comprising an angula bracket arm, a socket having a cylindrical bearing portion which is cut away adjacent to its end and adapted to receive and hold said bracket arm from rotating, one end of the bracket arm being threaded, a bur fitted thereto, clamping members provided with central apertures therein,-a shellextending through said apertures and having flanged ends engagingsaid members about the marginal edges of the apertures therein, disks havingcentral apertures for the reception of said shell and held in frictional -contact with each other by said members, said disks having'resilient fingers which are frictionally in engagement with each other and 7 their outer ends bent in opposite directions.
